American common life is in a death spiral as people abandon spaces not dedicated to profit or commerce and retreat into individualist caves where we suspiciously type away about our hated neighbors. Museums, libraries, the arts, parks, etc. are "we" goods in a "me" culture.

This is an incredible project: NBC News asked parents to check their kids' YouTube history during school hours — and the results show kids are spending huge chunks of the day watching videos that have nothing to do with learning nbcnews.com/specials/hooked-…

Baptism is an appeal to God for a good conscience because it is an appeal to God for the remission of sins.
"Baptism saves." Peter said that. Then he told us what he meant: "not the putting away of the filth of the flesh, but the answer of a good conscience toward God" (1 Pet 3:21).

Those who look to idols become like them (Psa 135:15-18). Those who look to the Lord are radiant (Psa 34:5). You will become like whatever you fix your gaze upon.

Timothy needs a sober, clear-minded vigilance with regard to prayer, to doctrine, to his conduct and that of priests and deacons under his care, to speech, to habits forming in the church or in the lives of those individual members under his care.

A blessed Oxford Martyrs' Day 'O Lord, we beseech thee, for whom thy martyr Stephen did pray, and whom thine holy Apostle did so truly and earnestly love, that, for their salvation, he wished himself accursed from thee. Remember, O heavenly Father, the prayer of thy dear Son our Saviour Christ upon the cross, when he said unto thee: “O Father, forgive them, they know not what they do.” With this forgiveness, O good Lord, give me, I beseech thee, thy grace, so here briefly to set forth the sayings of thy Son our Saviour Christ, of his Evangelists, and of his Apostles, that, in this aforesaid controversy, the light of thy truth, by the lantern of thy word, may shine upon all them that love thee.' - a prayer composed by Bp. Ridley as he awaited his execution.

Christianity Today has now taken down their ridiculous piece on the late Elisabeth Elliot's sexuality by @LucySRAusten. "Formless and void" is what could be said of the editorial judgement at @CTmagazine presently.

"In terms of a vacuum, we have removed the joy of everlasting life in a renewed creation, in which we enjoy God forever. So, just ending the pain is salvation itself.

At long last we have finally created the remote control war pretending to be a video game from Orson Scott Card’s classic “Don’t Create The Remote Control War Pretending To Be A Video Game”
Ukrainian-developed FPV drone simulator “Remote Reaper: FPV Drone” has officially left Early Access, with version 1.0 now available on Steam. Developed in collaboration with military pilots, the simulator focuses on combat FPV drone operations and introduces several features in its full release, including armored vehicles with modeled vulnerable zones, electronic warfare effects that can disrupt video feeds and control signals during the final stage of an attack, and a customizable drone editor. Version 1.0 also adds configurable weather conditions, custom mission editing, real-time flights with other pilots and a racing mode. Players can use FPV hardware or a gamepad with realistic flight physics, or opt for simplified controls using a keyboard and mouse. #RemoteReaper #FPV #FPVDrone #DroneSimulator

Great job!
Really happy that we were able to use real materials for this project at @BenedictineKS Reclaimed brick, limestone, granite and copper. The materials and the details allowed this project to feel "like it was always there". Reject hubris and harmonize with historic buildings!

One of the reasons I grew disillusioned with the Left in the early 1990s is because most Leftists were unwilling to accept this truth. Their hatred for the natural family was greater than their interest in what works—and what is healthy for boys and young men.

To this day, the post that garnered me the most unhinged, cruel, violent, falsely accusatory and just plain angry responses was when I lamented the fact that parents are sacrificing the souls of their children to sports. I *really like* sports! But Jesus is way more important.
🚨Report: Youth Sports are pulling families away from Church Sunday religious participation among parents of children ages 5–17 fell from 26.8% in 2003–2007 to 16.7% in 2021 through 2024 which is a decline of more than 37%
